 Global warming is a major threat to our existence. The gradual rise in temperature is resulting in melting of my caps in the Arctic region which in turn is contributing to the rise in water level M the seas. This is very threatening as rising in water level in the seas may lead to flooding of the coastal regions posing a threat to the lives in these regions. Global warming, in fact, is the major concern of the present world. It is high time we realise that due to our activities like the undue burning of fossil fuels for various purposes and felling of trees, the world is facing the threat of destruction. The civil society, the governments and all the stakeholders should take immediate steps in curbing carbon emissions and stopping deforestation to address the problem of global warming. We should adopt a sustainable development policy to save our earth.

Last week, my friend, who is a pilot had a mysterious experience.

During his flight from Paris to England, he was lost in the storm clouds. His compass, radio and other instruments had gone dead. He did not know which direction to go. He was lost and panicked (too much frightened).

Then, he saw a strange black aeroplane without lights on wings, flying near his plane. Its pilot lifted one hand, waved and signalled my friend to follow him. He guided my friend through the storm clouds and helped him land safely when my friend looked back to thank the pilot of the black aeroplane, he found neither the pilot nor the aeroplane.

When he asked the control about the strange black plane and its pilot. The reply was, no other plane was seen on the radar except his Dakota. Then who rescued him? There was no answer. It was a mystery.
